Philip’s Focus A Church on the Move Shalimar United Methodist Church is a Church on the move! In the last two weeks alone, we have had our church approve the purchase of the Presbyterian property next door, welcomed two new staff members, hosted over 300 children for Vacation Bible School; ten of us attended Annual Conference; four adults were baptized and reaffirmed in the their baptism; and we hosted our youth choir concert and commissioned 38 students and chaperones for the Shalimar Youth Choir Tour of 2018. Whew! God is good. Shalimar UMC is on the move! We give thanks to God for the approval to purchase the Presbyterian property next door. What a blessing it is to have our Trustees, Finance Committee, Church Council, and Charge Conference approve this purchase unanimously. At our Charge Conference, our District Superintendent, Dr. Tim Trent, also showered our congregation with praise celebrating the good ministry of Shalimar and calling us a great church! We now offer this action to God that His higher purposes may be accomplished in the coming years of Shalimar UMC! Again, we are humbled by this opportunity and pray for our Presbyterian neighbors in their new season. We open arms and open doors to the Presbyterian members who have not made other plans. We would love for you to be a part of Shalimar United Methodist Church! Shalimar is blessed to have two new staff persons begin at the same time. We welcome our new Youth Pastor, Rev. David Garvin, and our new Director of Children’s Ministries, Jennifer Guidoni! We can already feel the difference their presence is making on our campus! Welcome David and Jennifer! We are so glad you are here! Our Vacation Bible School ARK-E-OLOGY was very successful! We had over 300 kids and over 100 volunteers. There were over eighty preschoolers involved in the count. We estimate around 50% of these children were from outside of our church. A special thanks goes out to Kathy Curry who unbelievably took over the reins of leading on short notice and did an incredible job of leading each day. Each day began with prayer and truly the week brought many blessings to behold! Last week, we had Annual Conference in Montgomery. It was a great Annual Conference under the leadership of our Bishop David Graves. Our congregation had a total of twelve people from our church attend. Rev. David Garvin was commissioned as a provisional deacon. We are now blessed on our pastoral staff to have two elders, one provisional elder, and two provisional deacons. Alexis Tibbetts, who chairs the Episcopal Committee gave another glowing report of our Bishop and honored his wife Nancy. On the final day, all three of our appointed pastors, Rev. Brian Dale, Rev. Faith Parry, and myself were reassigned to Shalimar UMC for the next year. We look forward to sharing with you what the Lord has in mind this year! As I said four years ago, I am double blessed to have been appointed to Shalimar UMC two times, once in 1983 as Associate Pastor, and for a second time in 2014 as Lead Pastor. Thank you for receiving us all back this year. God is up to something with Shalimar United Methodist Church. We look forward to sharing in God’s journey with you! Finally, we ask our congregation to keep in prayer the thirty eight students and chaperones who left for Choir Tour on Wednesday. They will be singing in seven states
including a special opportunity to sing in the United States Capitol Rotunda! It was great to be the first ones to hear their musical last Wednesday, commission them, and send them out as a part of our reach, teach, and send mission. There are other wonderful things happening in our congregation! This is all my space permits for now! We are a church on the move and we believe this is because we serve a great God moving in and through Shalimar United Methodist Church!
Shalom, Philip Dr. Philip McVay, Lead Pastor

This Week’s Guide for Groups & Individuals There's a big word that's used to describe God, "omnipotence." Simply put, this means, "He is all-powerful; He can do anything He desires to do everything consistent with His rational, moral nature."1 God can do anything because he is all-powerful. The scriptures refer to God as the Almighty 345 times. Read Daniel 3:1-6, 13-18, 25-26 What stands out to you in this reading? How did Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego prove God's power? Would God have acted if they had not made such a bold statement about him? Re-Read Mark 10:15-16. How has this passage grown for you over the past weeks? Has it changed the way you look at God? How did Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego show childlike faith? Bringing it to a close. Many times people believe that God can, but don't think that he will act for them. This is many times limiting the power of God. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego believed that God had the power and that he would show his power. Have you ever felt that God wouldn't use his power to help you? Why? When has God shown his might and done wonderful things? What is one thing you will do this week as a result of something you've learned from this message and this series? Follow us on Facebook to receive daily scripture readings to help remind you each day that "My God Can Do Anything." facebook.com/ShalimarUMC #LikeaChildSUMC 1

Pastor’s Class Join us in FLC Room 106 each Wednesday at 6:00 pm
We Welcome Our New Staff Members! The last two weeks have been very busy! We have had Vacation Bible School, the Youth Choir commissioning concert, Annual Conference, and the start of summer camp. Pastor Brad and Ben Savage are traveling with the youth choir to engage in some meaningful mission and sharing of the gospel. In the midst of all that, we have also had some personnel changes. After months of handling children's ministry and After School Care, Jennifer Leibold has accepted a new employment opportunity, and we wish her well. She and her family have not left the church, of course, so we will continue to be blessed by their presence and service. Dawn Rozofsky has worked with Jennifer as co-director, and continues to lead our After School Program. More about that in a future article. We are so indebted to both of them for their tireless efforts and loving labor. Jason Theriault, meanwhile, has been overseeing our youth ministry, and we are grateful to him as well. We have a terrific and dedicated team of adult leaders for our youth ministry, and Jason's work to keep things going has set a good beginning for our new youth pastor. David Garvin has begun his work as our new Youth Pastor. He brings fresh ideas, youthful energy, and a loving spirit to Shalimar. Having recently graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary, he is now a provisional deacon in the Alabama-West Florida conference. We are looking forward to seeing him advance our ministry to youth in the FWB area in the years to come.
Jennifer Guidoni comes to us from South Florida with her husband, Joseph, and their son, Alonzo. She brings with her many years of experience in children and youth ministries, much of it in the United Methodist Church. When we offered her the job, she came immediately, because she did not want to miss our VBS. In her two weeks here, she has already begun making an impact. Jennifer is enrolled in Asbury Theological Seminary, with the goal of eventually getting her MDiv. For both Jennifer and David, their goal is to focus on family ministries, so this is not just a stepping stone for them; this is their mission field. We are so fortunate to have these two professionals called by God to take our family ministries to the next level! On Sunday, July 8th, our Fun 'n' Fellowship Committee will host an ice cream social, which will be a great opportunity for everyone to get to know David and Jennifer better. You won't want to miss it. Again, many thanks to Dawn Rozofsky, Jennifer Leibold, and Jason Theriault for their faithfulness to our church during this transition. Thanks also to Susan McLain and Jonathan Lefler for their good work in Children and Youth ministry. See you at Shalimar, Pastor Brian

SUMMER and BOOKS seem synonymous to many of us and what a treat to have our own well-stocked “book source” within easy reach. Our church library welcomes you to your summer reading treasure trove! Bring the kids and introduce them to some of the best books ever written, all with good messaging and offering the kind of summer reading you want for them. Of note are the Great Illustrated Classics for young people, of which we can now “boast” of having over 30 classic titles! Thank you, thoughtful donor, for making this collection available to our young readers! And while the kids are choosing their books, check out our Christian fiction shelves and popular authors like Karen Kingsbury, Catherine Palmer, Wanda Brumstetter, Joel Rosenberg, Alexander McCall Smith, or Francine Rivers, just to name a few. Max Lucado’s books, are always treasure-filled with easily understood spiritual messages, though not fiction, offer so much encouragement and “light” that we’ve given him his own shelf, so to speak! And among his many, you will find a Lucado “rarity,” a work of “heavenly fiction” called Miracle at the Higher Ground Café. There is soooo much in our library, including well-chosen movies on DVD for an occasional summer “rainy day!” COME ON IN AND CHECK US OUT !!!
